Jeter, Jessica Biel, Justin Timberlake, Cameron Diaz, A-Rod: BINGO

In fact, the two hot shot ballplayers have come awfully close to hooking up with the same pretty ladies — more than once.

Yep, the celebrity dating pool is pretty teeny tiny when you think about it. So small, It was almost too easy to find a common link between these New York playboys.

Alas — here's your three degrees of separation:

Jeter dated Jessica Biel for a few months in 2006 into early 2007. Shortly after, Biel began dating pop singer Justin Timberlake (the couple called it quits in March).

Before hooking up with Biel, Timberlake dated blond bombshell Cameron Diaz for three years.

Recently, Diaz and Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez were seen palling around together, until reportedly parting ways this June.

See the connection? Jeter — Biel — Timberlake — Diaz — A-Rod — BINGO.

As a bonus, Timberlake also dated Britney Spears for three years back in 1999. Spears famously locked lips with Madonna at the MTV Video Music Awards in 2003. Madge and A-rod were linked for a little while in 2008.

J.T. does seems to be the common thread in both dating webs. Should we make him an honorary Yankee?
